These sculptures start out as crude paper mache forms.  As they are refined , sanded, and painted,  I begin working through possible adaptations using all the crazy bits and pieces of junk I have stored in my studio.  Sometimes I find old nails, wire, and rusty metal on my daily walk around town, but  I also make trips to the junk stores and salvage yards and buy all kinds of old, rusty tools, utensils, and junk.  For me, these expeditions are all part of the artistic process.
